Unai Emery explains why Arsenal are targeting Denis Suarez and Ivan Perisic

Unai Emery has admitted that Arsenal are in need of winger with the club making moves during the January transfer window.

Reports claim the Gunners are close to completing a deal for Denis Suarez – a versatile midfielder who has previously worked under Emery.

Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic and Dalian Yifang’s Yannick Carrasco are also being targeted this month by Arsenal.

Emery: “We need wingers”

Emery has admitted:

“We need wingers and one player like Denis Suarez.

“I know him because he played with me in Sevilla.

“His qualities are this (able to play on the wing).”

Since his arrival at the Emirates, Emery has deployed a formation heavily reliant on wide players.

His current crop of options include, Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang, Alex Iwobi, Henrik Mkhitaryan and Mesut Ozil.

Iwobi is his only current forward who can be considered as a natural winger.

Therefore, the aim this month for the North London club has been on recruiting wingers.

It appears two have been targeted with Suarez, Perisic and Carrasco all being linked.
